12/6/2022

2 Comments

 
In our Season 4 premiere, we played a trilogy of battles from 1066, where three kings fought for control of the English crown. William the Conqueror emerged victorious in 1066...but if you watched our wargames on YouTube, you know OUR version of history turns out just a bit differently. And now, it's your turn!

You and your friends can rewrite some history of your own with our free scenarios AND the free Ravenfeast rules. All downloads are here!

The Ravenfeast game rules are already free as a skirmish-level Dark Ages game. But we've expanded upon them with our "big battle" supplement to add a few new twists. The core mechanics all remain the same, but add a command and control element to represent the challenge of leading large, early medieval armies, We also include the scenarios, maps, orders of battle, and unique scenario rules. The free PDF supplement even includes terrain and modelling tips to get you started! We've been working on this project for months and can't wait to share it with everyone!

If you already have the Ravenfeast core rules and JUST need the supplement, a direct link to the "big battle" PDF is below. You can always visit the official Ravenfeast website to check out all of our free downloads and bonus material.

How to Make a Snow Mat

In our Band of Brothers Crossfire/Fireball Forward video episode, we showcased a new custom ground mat we made for the scenario. For our "Free Stuff" page members we're offering a photo tutorial on how you can make this style mat at home yourself! 

Supplies Needed

--1 sheet of teddy bear fur (plush felt)
--4 tubes of white latex PLUS silicone caulk
--1/2" flat paint brush
--1 tube of cheap acrylic craft paint for the roads
--white spray paint
--light grey spray paint
--dark brownish/gray spray paint
When the mat is complete it's actually quite heavy! Remember, there are four entire tubes of caulk applied to it! We complete the tabletop by adding on loose scatter terrain, such as buildings, fences, stone walls, trees, bits of dead lichen, and haystacks. The final product is a pretty awesome looking table! It's a custom mat, but when you're done the game, you can just remove the loose scatter and roll up the mat for easy storage. The caulk doesn't crack or peel off. For us, this was a very successful experiment in making our own terrain mat!

As part of our 60,000 subscriber celebration (THANK YOU to everyone who subscribes to the channel!) we played a unique scenario, running the same engagement back-to-back with different rule sets. We revisited our E102 Foy episode from 2018 and zoomed out to battalion level to play Crossfire and Fireball Forward. In the video, you saw both rule sets in action! And now, we're offering up the details of the Crossfire scenario for you to try at home.

As part of our "On to Richmond" series we set up a tabletop wargame for a small but iconic action on the Virginia Peninsula called The Battle of Eltham's Landing.

It's set up for Regimental Fire & Fury but easily converted to your rules of choice.
